My Every Name Indexes are compiled specifically with the genealogist in mind. They are cross referenced in a way to make it as easy as possible to find the slightest mention of your ancestor. Any transcription may be subject to error, but I have made every effort to provide information that is accurate and complete.

HOW MY INDEXES ARE COMPILED

To assist the researcher in finding even the smallest reference to an individual, family, or surname, each index is compiled in the following manner:

1. Every person named in the original text is listed by last name, first name, middle initial, and page number in the index. Identical names mentioned on more than one page are combined into one entry.

Adams, Alice, 829Adams, Andrew, 718, 721

2. Every name is spelled in the index as it was spelled within the original text. Be sure to check all possible spelling variations.

Abat, Everet, 496Abbot, Everett L., 628Abbott, Everet L., 376

3. Women mentioned in the original text by their maiden name will be listed in the index in several ways to make it easier to find a female ancestor.

4. Persons designated in the original text with titles will be listed in the index in several ways.

Alerding, Right Rev. Herman Joseph, 418Alerding, Herman Joseph, 418

Andrews, Mrs. Mary, 710Andrews, Mary, 710

Johnston, Lieut. Col. Joseph, 833Johnston, Joseph, 833

5. Women listed in the original text as married and the spouse's name is given in place of her given name will be listed in the index and also a reference to the spouse as well. This may be the only indication that the man was married.

Baker, Mrs. George, 455Baker, George, 455
